I’m Maryfran a downto earth open and honest writer who has had incredible success with weight loss (150 pounds) and also a regain. I’m currently working to lose my weight. I write a little about everything that pertains to weight loss: recipes, emotions, victories, exercise, failures and success. My blog title beliefinmyself is twofold. It is belief that I can lose and maintain the weight, but it also pertains to life. If I believe in myself I can achieve my every dream and hope!

Let me lay out my challenge for this week first. My challenge is to navigate a week full of baking in my kitchen without gaining weight! Yes, I'll be baking this and that all week long in preparation for an open house we are having. I can do it!!!

My other goal for the week......to take the first step to getting back into exercising......so my goal is to exercise 3 times this week!

I've been feeling blah the last few days.....so I'm trying to remember that being blah is not an excuse to eat. And that eating will not make one not feel better and thus take away the blahs! HOWEVER, when it seems as if life is spinning madly (out of control or otherwise). I CAN control my eating. I can take control of that one portion of my life. And the feeling of empowerment is all encompassing!

I thought I could never do exercise 3 times a week. Compared to so many others out there, that's nothin'! But 3 times a week is 3 times more than I USED to do. It's a reasonable start without biting off more than you can chew. Good luck with that baking.
